Visa Rule Made Easier For Foreigners Married to Indians
Foreigners married to Indians are now allowed to convert their visas to X2 visas irrespective of the place of their wedding.
Desperate times, desperate measures. And one place where that seems to work the best is Twitter. At least when it comes to our Home Ministry. Following a plea on Twitter, the Union Home Ministry decided to make visa rules easier with a new amendment.
According to the new amendment, foreigners who marry Indian nationals, even if it is on foreign soil, will no longer have a problem in getting their tourist visas converted to X2 or dependent visas. Irrespective of the place of their wedding, they now will be allowed to convert their visas to X2 visas.
